    Bridgeport 2J

    looking for a knee mill

    Not interested in a "Kent milling machine" Other than that if you have one please let me know, otherwise, I'll be "forced" lol to buy a new cx603. I live in Saskatoon but could road trip to AB for the right fit.

    Machine Lubrication

    Hey guys, I haven't been here in forever! My stupid phone is a piece of junk and I had to get rid of Tapatalk. Anyways, I'm finally getting my lathe back together after a year apart (I know, it's embarassing) and I'm wondering: What do you guys use for lubrication? Where do you go for...
